How to Prepare White Chocolate Strawberry Truffles
Crush freeze-dried strawberries into a fine, delicate dust using a food processor. Sift the powder to ensure a smooth, lump-free texture that will blend seamlessly into the truffle mixture.
Gently warm cream until tiny bubbles form around the edges. Pour the hot cream over finely chopped white chocolate, allowing the heat to work its magic. Let the mixture rest, then stir until a glossy, luxurious ganache forms with a velvety consistency.

Scoop small portions of the chilled mixture and roll between your palms to create perfect bite-sized spheres. Place the truffles in the freezer for a quick set.
Dip each frozen truffle into melted white chocolate, creating a smooth outer shell. Sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried strawberry powder for a beautiful, elegant finish. Refrigerate until the coating sets completely.

Decadent White Chocolate Strawberry Truffles Recipe
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 11 1x
Description
Creamy white chocolate strawberry truffles bring elegant European dessert charm to home kitchens. Rich ganache centers reflect delicate fruit essence, promising sweet indulgence in delightful bite-sized confections you can easily craft.
Ingredients
- 250 g (8.8 oz) white cooking chocolate
- 80 ml (2.7 fl oz) thickened/heavy cream
- 150 g (5.3 oz) white cooking chocolate (for coating)
- 15 g (0.5 oz) freeze-dried strawberries (or strawberry powder)
Instructions
- Powder Preparation: Grind freeze-dried strawberries into an ultrafine powder, sifting meticulously to eliminate any remaining granules.
- Ganache Foundation: Gently heat heavy cream until tiny bubbles emerge around the edges, creating a soft simmer. Pour over finely chopped white chocolate and rest for 2 minutes to initiate smooth melting.
- Ganache Refinement: Whisk the cream and chocolate with circular motions until a glossy, uniform ganache develops. Fold in strawberry powder until the mixture achieves a delicate pink tone.
- Chilling Process: Refrigerate the ganache for approximately 3 hours, allowing it to reach a perfectly rollable consistency.
- Truffle Shaping: Using slightly dampened hands, form chilled mixture into uniform bite-sized spheres. Briefly freeze to enhance structural stability.
- Chocolate Coating: Melt additional white chocolate using a double boiler, creating a smooth glossy finish. Delicately immerse each frozen truffle, ensuring complete coverage.
- Final Embellishment: Immediately dust truffles with reserved strawberry powder. Allow to set at room temperature or refrigerate to accelerate hardening, creating an elegant, professional presentation.
Notes
- Powder Precision: Sift freeze-dried strawberries thoroughly to eliminate lumps, ensuring a smooth, even texture in your truffles.
- Cream Temperature Control: Warm cream gently with small bubbles around edges, avoiding full boil to prevent scorching and maintain delicate flavor.
- Ganache Technique: Let cream and chocolate rest for exactly 2 minutes before whisking to create a perfectly smooth, glossy mixture without overworking.
- Chilling Strategy: Refrigerate ganache for full 3 hours to achieve ideal rollable consistency, preventing sticky or soft truffles during shaping.
